Thanks for posting this Robyng the doctor wants me to get one but the pain doctor thinks there might be something else wrong in my back. I had L4-S1 fusion last April. Pain doctor said stimulator will help with leg, anal, groin pain but not the back pain. If anyone has been in pain with this situation how do you treat the 2 different pains?

@sbtheplumber1 I would take finding the exact source of the pain before trying to block the pain signals with a SCS.
It's only my opinion based on the bad experiences of my loved one in the last 6 months with the SCS to treat severe nerve pain. Her issues started 2 1/2 years ago after a fall that fractured L-5 and she had Kyphoplasty.
I hope it can be figured out for you.
